Day 1
Travel from Banff to Kootenay, crossing a vast wildfire burn area while keeping an eye out for new-growth forest with pink fireweed and yellow columbine. Venture into a hanging valley for a view of the stunning Stanley Glacier.
Day 2
A forest trail carpeted with buttercups and bunchberry takes you to milky blue Sherbrooke Lake, the largest backcountry glacial lake in Yoho National Park. Climb to Paget Lookout for sublime views of pristine glaciers and soaring peaks.
Day 3
Walk through evergreen forests and blooming meadows to sensational views of the Daly Glacier and Yoho Valley. Standing in awe before Canada's second-highest waterfall, it all makes sense—Takakkaw is Cree for "it is magnificent". Walk along the shore of Emerald Lake.
